NEW Out Of The Park Baseball Sim Released

[atcfootball]

Not sure of the right "area" for this topic... but Out Of The Park Baseball 9 has been released today! I know some of you will not care, but this is a great sim if you have never tried it...

 

I learned of this game from members of NSBB so I figured some may want to know a new one has been released.

How does it compare to Baseball Mogul?

[atcfootball]

I was intimidated by it at first, having played Mogul prior to playing Out Of The Park. Seems that there are a ton more options for total control of the baseball simulation, draft, scouting, just overall everything.

 

How it compares is: I played Mogul for some time prior to playing this game. When I installed it and started to play it, I soon realized its depth and amount of control(s). I thought I will never get this, its to much the manual at the time was over 500 pages, if I remember correctly. Slowly I learned and also started to enjoy the game much more then Mogul. I also at the time was playing "Inside the Park" baseball sim, that allows you to control the player, workouts, going to the bar, auction, home and so on. Its an easy game to play but lots of fun... by makers of out of the park.

 

Please don't read this as spam, I'm not the maker of the game and have nothing to do with and I don't make any money if you buy it. I'm sure others can give you or anyone else an idea about what they think of the game, I would not take just one persons advice. :)

In all honesty there really isnt a fair comparison IMO. OOTP9 is deeper, richer, more imersive baseball experience. It is a Text Sim. If you want Madden style graphics and that is all that is important to you then stay away from OOTP.

 

If you think you could do a better job running the Cubs than MacPhail or Hendry have done the last decade then this is the sim for you. From the Arizona league to Chicago you can have control over the full minor league system, or if you want to you can simulate the way baseball was from 1901. All you have to do is import that year and start your league. Honestly it is about that easy too.

 

OOTP is all about options and the community has talented modders to fill in the cracks for what they cant give you because of legal reasons. The game ships with opening day rosters from this year, but not with the team logos. Easy enough to fix. Download the ICEY mod and now your players pictures will have the correct jersey and cap logos along with the correct logos on team pages all the way down your system to rookie ball.

 

I have been playing since OOTP3. Every year it has made strides improving, and becoming more imersive. Yes the AI isnt as great as a human opponent but for an AI, I have seen lots worse out there.

 

Go to the boards and ask any questions you have. There is a very helpful, dedicated, and knowlegeable set of fans over there. http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-9-general-discussions/

I could not agree more, however Dirty Dog Sparly says it so much better!

Where is the ICEY mod, DDS? I bought this game and am curious because having the logos and player pics would be splendid. Thanks!

I think that once you load the Icey quick start you will need to release all players and then delete them. Then import the 2008 rosters.

That is the board for the roster mods.
